Where do families in Campbell County apply?
Families in Campbell County start with the state, not the county. Submit the CCW Program Application (CCW Form 01, which requires choosing a county case management agency) to the WDH HCBS Section in Cheyenne; non-Medicaid members also file a Wyoming Medicaid LTC application (1-855-203-2936); an LT-101 nurse assessment determines level of care.
Can I get paid to care for my spouse in Campbell County?
Sometimes — it depends on the program. The fine print for Wyoming: limited — the Community Choices Waiver renewal effective 7/1/2026 allows a paid spouse only if they hold no authority over the participant's finances and the care goes beyond normal spousal duties; guardians and the employer of record cannot be paid

Which towns in Campbell do you cover?
